Vehicle Description
A cool cruising convertible with all the right elements for a great
presentation is already an attractive proposition. But this
restored 1950 Ford Custom just seems to have the right balance of
original features balanced with subtle upgrades to make it
irresistible.
The Buttercream Yellow is one of those colors that fits into this
car's era perfectly. In fact, it's quite close to what was on
Ford's palette for 1950. The real difference here is that you can
see there was a serious investment in a more modern paint
application a few years back. The result is a classic convertible
that doesn't look like it has brand new color, which gives it that
perfect balance of looking like a pristine original while still
having an undeniable attracting every time the sunlight highlights
its luster. The paintwork also helps with the overall premium
presentation. These Fords are already one of the most attractive
post-war design around, but when the Custom Deluxe trim is complete
from the bullet nose, to the full length side trim, to the
wraparound bumpers, well then, you know you're paying for something
special. Add in dual spotlights, fender skirts, and whitewalls, and
this is one of the most impressive period-correct packages
around.
We love the black convertible top with the red trim. Not only does
this newer piece look premium and have a glass rear window, but
also when you lower it, there's a matching two-tone black and red
interior waiting underneath. These two colors are perfectly
intertwined. You see in places like the red piping on the black
seatbacks, the dual patterns in the door panels, and the two-tone
of the Art Deco dash. This one feels so authentic right down to the
stylized Ford steering wheel, and there's even still the AM radio
in the dash. It's the kind of overall presentation that you'll love
showing off.
The 239 cubic-inch flathead V8 looks great under the hood with the
bronze block continuing this droptop's premium presentation. The
engine bay is nicely detailed with the correct oil-bath air cleaner
matching the block, and the radiator hoses are proper reproductions
that won't sag. Plus, you are now running an alternator for true
convenience. But more than just looking good, the glasspack-style
dual exhaust gives this famous V8 a little extra bass during your
Sunday drives. And the three-speed manual transmission lets you
control that soundtrack while also giving it a powerful feeling
around town if you so desire.
These Custom Deluxe droptops were second only to the luxury wagons
in price in the 1950 lineup, so this is a rare and premium classic.
And since it also has all the right touches to be the one you'll
love to take the long way to car shows, we suggest you hurry before
some else snatches it up. Call today!!!
